Shi Dazhu instinctively wanted to obey orders, but at this moment, he suddenly realized that I am now the commander-in-chief, I am the commander in charge of power, and now I am giving orders.

Such a huge pressure pressed down, which made his heart shrink even more, and the cold sweat on his forehead instantly oozed out.

He thought for a moment and made the safest but most conservative decision: "Pass the order, divide the troops into four routes, and pursue and intercept them separately." ”

On the top of the hill, Lian Zining watched the changes in the situation on the battlefield through the Qianli tube.

Seeing that Fu Yuwei suddenly divided his troops into four ways and fled separately, but Shi Dazhu's choice was to divide his troops to pursue, he put down the Qianli Cylinder and sighed slightly: "It's not a big life this time." ”

His expression was strange, as if he was a little regretful, but he seemed to be rejoicing and sighing for something.

King Liang stared at him for a long time, and suddenly Dao took the Qianli Tube and came over to look at it for a while, his body seemed to be frozen, motionless, and it was obvious that he was very attentive. It's just that his mouth is constantly moving, as if he is muttering something to himself.

Lian Zining smiled on the side: "Your Highness can see that you can't hide in any team?" ”

After a long while, King Liang said to himself: "Due north, it seems that this one is also a brave one, and it seems that he wants to go back through the forest." ”

Lian Zining raised his eyebrows, and said with a little surprise: "Your Highness has the potential to be a famous general." ”

"Wu Yibo is really joking, what is the potential of this king? It's just that there's no pressure on the side, and the bystanders are clear. King Liang put down the Qianli Tube and smiled, and said in a manly voice: "It seems that these four troops all have the most elite guards of the Fu Yuwei. And it seems that the one that goes to the southwest has the most of these guards, and the southwest is also the safest direction. Once it breaks through, the sea is wide and the fish jumps. It seems that this side is the most likely. But if you look closely, you will find that the guards in this army are slow and clumsy, like toddlers, and in the eyes of this king, it should be because they are not the guards, but have just been put on the heavy armor of the guards. It's not very adaptable. On the contrary, it is the one in the north, all of them are agile and strong, and their demeanor is powerful, although the number is smaller, but they are the most powerful, and there is no doubt that they are not in real shape. ”

Lian Zining applauded lightly and said with a smile: "Your Highness's meticulous observation is admired." ”

"Wu Yibo has an overreputation." King Liang said modestly, and said with some doubts: "Since Wu Yibo knows which team he fled into, he can't help it. Now the pursuit, I'm afraid it's still too late, right? ”

"It's too late, it's just ......" Lian Zining's eyes were deep, like a deep pool: "This time it's mainly to weaken Fu Yuwei's strength." Our goal has been achieved, and the 20,000 troops of Fuyuwei can escape. I'm afraid there aren't three or five hundred, right? The 50,000 troops of his eastern expedition have already gone to forty percent, which is already considered a broken nerve. The casualties were extremely heavy. If you don't escape, you will escape, and Seong will not know if he is blessed. What do you say, Your Highness? ”

King Liang suddenly said: "Wu Yibo, you must have a back hand, right?" ”

"Your Highness laughed, the lower official is not Zhuge Wuhou, how can he take three steps and make a plan, and the strange tricks are repeated? But there are some things that you don't need to arrange, and he will happen on his own. Lian Zining waved his hand to deny it, and then pointed to the surrounding rivers and mountains, and said with a smile: "Your Highness, Lian Mou will teach you two more words - the overall situation!" ”

"The big picture?"

When King Liang heard this, he couldn't help but be a little stunned, but after these series of things, in his mind, Lian Zining was already a god-like figure, and every word he said must have its own truth, and it must be carefully figured out.

"The big picture, the big picture......" He muttered these two words in his mouth, and his eyes suddenly lit up thoughtfully.

―――――――― Dividing Line――――――――

Sanchuankou, ninety-eight miles west to Partridge Town.

Here is a low gentle slope, the area is vast, not far below the gentle slope is a huge lake, or to describe it more accurately with a swamp wetland, the water depth is less than one person, feasible boats, the lake is more than 100 miles in circumference, the area is vast, it is full of reeds and dwarf trees, the water is sweet, and it can be drunk.

Three large rivers flow into the lake, one from the northeast, one from the east, and one from the south.

These three rivers are not long, but the amount of water is not small, and the seasonality is strong, every time the temperature rises in spring, when the winter snow melts, the amount of water is sharply increased, the waves are like a big river, and in winter or late autumn, the river withers. Therefore, the size of the lake is also variable.

Because of the three rivers, it is called the mouth of the three rivers here.

At this time, it is the best time of the year in Sanchuankou, the area of the lake has expanded several times, and the radius is more than 300 li, and at a glance, it is simply a vast sea, but this sea is really too shallow.

The lake has many unsubmerged highlands, and now it has become a desert island, overgrown with all kinds of plants. The lake is full of reeds, lotus leaves, shallots, cattails, calamus, barracuda grass and so on. The water is clear and you can see the bottom of the water, you can see the swimming fish shuttling in the water, from time to time there are wild ducks swimming in the water, the egret walks in the water with its slender legs, its long neck is probed, and the scissor-like mouth is holding a small fish out. I don't know what frightened me, pheasants, roe deer and other small beasts came out of the bushes on the island, fluttering their wings and screaming in panic.

It is elegant and tranquil, and the scenery is beautiful, which can be called a paradise on earth.

Unfortunately, the eternal tranquility was soon shattered by the sound of restless horses' hooves.

Cavalry units came from the east, and they were extremely numerous, each with more than a thousand people, and there were more than a dozen such large cavalry troops. At a glance, it is boundless, and it seems to cover the entire great wasteland.

The vast green wasteland was covered in black.

These cavalrymen were all short and stout, with a typical Jurchen appearance, wearing leather armor or iron armor, and their faces were covered with blood, and they all looked dirty. A considerable number of wounded soldiers were among them. And the wound could not be treated in time, but it was hastily wrapped in rags. From time to time, dark red blood seeped out of it. They were clearly tired, as you could clearly tell from their faces. Compared with the body, what is worse is the mental state, although many people are galloping on horses, but they have closed their eyes, swaying, and seem to be about to fall asleep on horseback.

Some of them are vigilant, but they still look behind them from time to time, their eyes are full of anxiety, and there is a trace of fear that cannot be hidden.

Overall. This is a tired army that has been frightened and completely become a frightened bird.

Panic, fear, exhaustion, all kinds of bad emotions filled this army, and the extreme exhaustion made them want to fall down directly, unable to sleep.

In the midst of the army, Amin kept his head down, his heart heavy.

He was still wondering why Lian Zining was concentrating on besieging with all his might, but he let himself go, he was a very concerned person. What's more, there are many doubts in this matter, if you don't want to be clear, I'm afraid he won't be able to sleep for several nights.

Behind him, the sound of horses' hooves came, and I rode over. After taking a few breaths, he said, "Amin, the pursuers behind are gone." Looks like we've got rid of them. ”

Amin nodded heavily, this was not what he expected. After all, Dong Laohu's department only had 10,000 people, and the reason why he retreated was because he didn't want to be surrounded and annihilated by several other Wu Yi troops. But it doesn't mean that I'm afraid of them. If you really want to pursue it desperately, you have to consider whether to lure the enemy deep and encircle and annihilate it. With his meticulous temperament, he would never take risks, and he must have instructed those pursuers to stop in moderation.

Moreover, they should also be busy going back to encircle and annihilate him!

Amin asked lightly: "How many men did we lose in that pursuit?" ”

I sighed and said fiercely, "At least five thousand." ”

Fang Cai Dong Laohu's department pursued fiercely like a wolf on the grassland that could not be killed, they divided into small teams, bit the Jurchens to the death, chased them relentlessly, and shot with flintlock pistols when they were far away, and slashed with guns and knives when they were close. Compared with them, the Jurchens, who were pursued and only cared about fleeing in a hurry, could not make any effective counterattack at all, and were easily beheaded one by one as easily as killing pigs and sheep. Some of them saw that it was too bad, and they didn't want to die, so they simply dropped.

The so-called defeat of the army is like a mountain, this kind of decline, the hasty defeat when the building is about to fall, no matter how wise the commander can not stop, as strong as Amin, after giving the order to retreat on the whole line, he basically lost control of the troops, and can only be coerced forward by the army. Fortunately, there were still those kidnappers and horses surrounding him, otherwise I don't know what kind of danger it would be.

After chasing for seventy or eighty miles, I finally stopped chasing.

This also made all the Jurchens breathe a sigh of relief.

"Another five thousand?"

Amin's face was a little gloomy again.

My heart was also very dull and resentful, the army retreated, and it was always the most elite troops who opened the way and broke off, and his kidnapping horse was undoubtedly the most elite unit in the Jurchen army, so this errand fell on their heads. One of the kidnappers and horses fled around Amin, and the other led by my Ba child led more than 1,000 armored cavalry to break the rear. But the Wu Yi army doesn't fight hard with you, relying on the speed advantage of the light cavalry to bypass from both sides, attacking those troops who are fleeing backwards, and intercepting can be said to have no effect.

It's not very pleasant to watch Pao Ze die, and it's no wonder that my child's mood can be better.

Amin knew what he was thinking at a glance when he saw his expression, sighed, and said lightly: "It's me who didn't think about it." You shouldn't be left to break off. ”

"It's not your fault." I said with a big grin: "You have to think about so many things, but it is normal to not expect this, this is also a trivial matter." ”

My child's ability to self-regulate is really strong, I don't know what to think, I suddenly grinned, and said: "Don't be too bored, think about it, I'm afraid that 20,000 soldiers are in it this time, whether I can escape by myself or not." Hey. ”

"Yes, this old fox, he only brought so many soldiers to pick up our cheapness, but he didn't expect to be buried in it, he deserved it." Speaking of this, Amin's face was slightly pale.

He asked aloud, "Where is this?" ”

After a while, a guard reported: "Go back to your lordship, you have arrived at Sanchuankou." ”

"Mikawaguchi?" Amin has an excellent memory. I know the topography of this area well, and I think of this place right away. Said: "Order, go forward another fifteen miles." Camp southwest with Mikawaguchi to rest. ”

Then he commanded, "My boy, you go and arrange a patrol." ”

After fleeing in embarrassment, they threw away everything they could, and there was not much military ration left, and Sanchuankou had abundant supplies and a lot of beasts and fish, so it was perfect to camp here.

As the order was delivered, the Jurchen soldiers, who were already exhausted to death, erupted in fierce cheers.

He went out fifteen miles and found a low hill that was flat on all sides. Amin finally ordered to stay in place and rest.

Almost as soon as the order was delivered, these soldiers just lay on the ground one after another, regardless of the dirt and mud on the ground, whether there were small insects or poisonous snakes and the like, and fell asleep directly.

It was quiet for a while, and only the sound of snoring was heard one after another.

I have already arranged a sentry and released it more than 50 miles away, not only to find out the surrounding terrain, but also to prevent a sneak attack by Wu Yi's army. Fifty miles of buffer distance. Even the cavalry will take a long time to arrive, and if Wu Yijun really comes to sneak attack if the ghost is still gone, it will be too late to take precautions.

The soldiers set up several tents on top of the low hills, which were the residences of Amin and several other high-ranking officers.

Although there is still a lot of preoccupation. But as soon as I walked into the tent and lay down on the blanket, the tiredness still hit me like a tide. Amin soon fell into a deep sleep.

Four hours later.

It's already dark.

In the night, Sanchuankou was quiet and silent, and from time to time there were birds and beasts. A gust of wind blows, and you can hear the thin sound of rippling blue waves. Rustling reeds swaying in the wind. The cattail calamus exudes a faint and serene aroma. But there was one place that was extremely noisy - the low hill where the Jurchens were stationed had been lit countless bonfires, which had been lit by the soldiers who had woken up.

They gathered in piles and laughed loudly. The bonfire dispels the dampness on the ground and the surrounding darkness, and the ground around the bonfire has already been burned once, dry and clean, including the hidden dangers that exist underground.

After a full eight hours of deep sleep, their mental state was obviously much better, and these strong men quickly regained their previous spirits.

This spirit is also coming up.

After a short time, a large group of hundreds of Jurchen knights returned from a distance, laughing and laughing as they went, obviously very excited.

On their hands and shoulders, they are carrying prey, there are dead hares, roe deer, roe deer and other small beasts, there are also strings of fat fish threaded with straw ropes, some are not dead, constantly shaking the fat and snow-white fish body, throwing out strings of transparent water droplets, under the light of the blazing fire, revealing a thrilling red. The most coveted thing is that several strong Jurchen men jointly carried a thick and sturdy wooden stick with a fat wild boar tied to it. They're the ones who went out hunting, and it looks like they're going to have a good harvest today.

These are the teams that have been sent out to hunt and fish, and it seems that they have made a lot of gains.

And after seeing their figures come back, the Jurchen soldiers who were waiting for them all let out bursts of cheers, the hunting and fishing are back, and the time for dinner is also up.

They were all hungry and fierce, they had not eaten much before, they fought for a day, fled frantically, and then slept until night, and when they woke up, they were really hungry and hungry, and their hands and feet trembled with hunger, like a cat scratching, and it was extremely uncomfortable.

The soldiers hurried up to meet them and took back their share.

The cauldron was already hanging above the fire, and with this moment's effort, the water in the pot slowly boiled.

Some soldiers with good skills are squatting on the side of the small river not far away, holding short blades in their hands, and they disembowels the fish in the river, scrapes the scales, and after cleaning them, chops them and throws them directly into the cauldron that has been boiling.

Then sprinkle the sprouts of wild vegetables dug out of the ground, and some messy condiments, these Jurchen men who were born and grew up in the wilderness always have some unknown small means to enhance the deliciousness of the food.

Soon, the cauldron is filled with an enticing aroma.

Ignoring the heat, the soldiers took off their helmets as large bowls and scooped out pieces of broth from them. Feast on it. The aroma of barbecued meat and the aroma of stewed fish are mixed together. This early summer night in the Northeast has added a lot of warmth.

Amin was walking through the crowd with a few people. Everywhere I went, I sat down to talk and chat with the soldiers. He was not such a high-minded and arrogant person, on the contrary, he was very approachable, so from time to time he burst into a hearty laugh, and the atmosphere was very harmonious and pleasant.

Naturally, he did this with deep meaning.

This time, the Jurchen army's crusade was in vain, not only that, but it also lost its troops. The losses were heavy, and in the end, it was Amin's misjudgment. Although no one dared to question or oppose him because of his high prestige, the voice of dissatisfaction in the army had gradually emerged. Amin is very keenly aware of this, and it is with him that he is making such an amiable gesture at this time, which is naturally also to win people's hearts and improve morale. Prevent any uncontrollable changes in the army.

At this moment, suddenly there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves, and everyone hurriedly got up like frightened birds. Looking in the direction from which the voice came, some of them were already alerted to their weapons. They were really frightened by Wu Yijun, for fear that Wu Yijun would chase after them.

Two fast horses rushed past the crowd, one after the other. Going straight to the main tent, the big man who looked like the black iron tower on the war horse shouted: "Wu Yijun has not made any changes. Don't worry, just eat with peace of mind! ”

Listen to the sound and everyone can hear it. This is Lord Baba Child, Lord Amin's most trusted general, and the leader of the Kidnapping Horse. When they got this, everyone settled down and ate alive.

Amin was sitting with a few Jurchen soldiers at the moment, each holding a piece of roasted fragrant, oily, yellow mutton eating happily, Amin got a lamb hind leg, the meat was extremely delicious and delicate, the seasoning on it was very sufficient, the entrance was fragrant, and the taste was excellent.

He looked at the boy who was rushing in the direction of his big tent and the man who was following behind, and his heart shrank sharply for no reason, and suddenly became extremely flustered, as if he had punched someone hard in his heart.

It's just that as the commander of the army, this emotion naturally can't be expressed, and the different color on his face is fleeting, and soon the penny changes back to a smiling face, talking and laughing while eating.

It's just that the taste of roast mutton in the mouth is irretributive, but I can't say it anymore.

Sure enough, after a while, I Ba Boy strode in, I don't know why, he has always been calm, but his face is full of panic at the moment, and he walked towards Amin quickly, but he didn't pay attention to the soles of his feet, and he almost fell into a dog and ate. Seeing his expression, Amin's heart suddenly sank more and more.

I walked up to Amin, and after whispering a few words in his ear, Amin's face was already white!

His eyes were unfocused, and he stared at the void in front of him for a few minutes before he came back to his senses, but he was also very human after all, and he quickly calmed down, and he took a deep breath, only to feel that his brain was in chaos, and he didn't know how to deal with it.

is as wise as him, but at this time, he is also out of proportion and panicked.

The spies who were patrolling outside just now spotted a messenger from the Ali Guardian Camp and brought back an extremely shocking news.

Jiahewei was attacked, and now it is surrounded by the Wuyi army, and there is no one in charge of Jiahewei, and now the situation is very critical, and there is a danger of breaking the city at any time.

―――――――――― dividing line――――――――

Time is pushed back to five days, April 25.

Ba Hulu.

In the Jurchen language, this is the meaning of the place of abundance where the two rivers meet, and in fact, it is exactly what the name suggests. This is where the Manhe River flows into the Heilongjiang River, where the two mighty rivers meet, nurturing the abundance on both banks, on both sides is an endless grassland, with rivers and lakes all over it, rich in products, and occasionally you can see some low shrubs and very sparse woods.

It is very rich, with plenty of game to feed thousands of strong men who eat a lot of food, and the territory is wide enough to stretch as far as the eye can see, and it is difficult for the enemy to attack. What's more, the location here is moderate, just stuck on a key point, this is not very far from the Haixi Jurchen, and it is also quite close to Jiahewei, and even from this west, after trekking for three days and nights, you can see the vast and fat pastures of Fuyuwei through the Naowen River!

However, this place is vast and sparsely populated, and there is no danger of leaking traces. (To be continued.) )
